I have details of the family Lamb living at Brownsea Island on 1841 but if anyone could check for any other family called Lamb in the Preston Dorset area please. I have received a birth certificate which seems to indicate there may be another family of the same name as the informant of the birth is not the mother or father or any sibling but shares same surname. Thanks Lorrie
There is a Maria Lamb, 20, b Ireland (as were many of the Brownsea family)living in Poole, who is probably connected as Poole is the closest town to Brownsea, but most of the Dorset Lambs are based in the Sherborne area.
